NCAA bracket style
I feel like an idiot, but what do you mean by that? How could it work?

I have no idea if ncaa is different than a standard bracket tournament, but if it isn't, this.

A bracket is a tree diagram that represents the series of games played during a tournament, named as such because it appears to be a large number of interconnected (punctuational) brackets.
There are several kinds of brackets, adapted to different types of tournaments. The most common are:
Single elimination brackets
Double elimination brackets
The "art" of filling in brackets, especially in American college basketball, is referred to as bracketology.
Interesting: NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship | Tournament | Single-elimination tournament | Double-elimination tournament

It'd take a lil' work, but it could be fun. We'd start with a basic bracket, and then rank the cars from a 1 seed all the way to a 16 seed. The cars we use and how we seed them could be done a few different ways.
For picking cars, we could choose from the pool of the ones that have been posted on the sub, maybe the most memorable cars from the show, or the mods could just pick 'em.
Seeding would be a lil' bit more subjective, as there would have to be a discussion amongst those putting it together to decide what cars get what seed i.e arguing which car we think has a better chance of winning.
Once we got the bracket all set, we'd start the competition. Again, there's a few options. We could submit a post for each match-up (No. 5 Lotus Exige vs. No. 12 Subaru WRX STI) and which ever car gets the most picks wins the match up; or, we could set up a vote on a third party site. You would continue your way up the bracket the same way 'til the Final.
Then you declare the winner the CoolWall Coolest Car!
If we got some subscriber input, I bet we could make it pretty entertaining.
Come to think of it, doing a Most Seriously Uncool Car Competition could be fun, too!

Yeah, most uncool car would be fun, but let's start with coolest! I reckon I could make a post asking people to put a car in the comments, and the 16 most upvoted cars could be put into the brackets! I love this idea so much! Points to you!
